A desktop file id is the basename of the desktop file, including the 
.desktop extension. GIO is looking for a desktop file with this name 
in the <code class="filename">applications</code> subdirectories of the XDG data
directories (i.e. the directories specified in the 
<code class="envar">XDG_DATA_HOME</code> and <code class="envar">XDG_DATA_DIRS</code> environment 
variables). GIO also supports the prefix-to-subdirectory mapping that is
described in the <a class="ulink" href="http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/" target="_top">Menu Spec</a> 
(i.e. a desktop id of kde-foo.desktop will match
<code class="filename">/usr/share/applications/kde/foo.desktop</code>).
